As we are seeing a decline in Christianity in Europe and indeed the US, are we opening the door to not a pure secular society but rather a society with Islam as the primary religion that is growing very quickly? There are now millions of followers of Islam in Europe and this number is growing due to procreation within the immigrant society that is higher than other demographics. Not only that, instead of Muslims turning away from their faith, they have high retention and conversion from secular and other religions. Statistics show that those that identify as Muslim will make up 30% of Europe's population by 2050.
Knowing how the Islamic faith has impacted the middle east where it is most prevalent, does that worry any of you?
In the article he warns that although he believes that religion in any form is harmful, that in Europe we are seeing a marked decline in Christianity but a marked increase in the Islamic faith.Before we rejoice at the death throes of the relatively benign Christian religion, lets not forget Hilaire Bellocs menacing rhyme, Always keep a hold of nurse For fear of finding something worse.
